That's from "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" from Animal Crackers. It was later Groucho Marx's theme song. I know Groucho's character sang part of it, but I can't remember his name.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

In the movie version of Animal Crackers, the quoted passage is sung by the chorus, twice. I know Groucho's character sang part of it, but I can't remember his name.  That was a joke, right? Anyway, over to Rockhopper Lad.

Actually, it's just been a long time since I saw Animal Crackers and I forgot that Groucho himself was Captain Spaulding. I think I had it a little mixed up in my head with Duck Soup. I guess senility is setting in.  All right then: God must have landed here. Why else would he strand us here Where the air is nice and clear?

Google informs me that this is "Sweethaven" from Popeye, The Movie.

My favorite song from "The Muppet Movie," "I'm Going to Go Back There Some Day" (almost universally misused as "Someday" -- but this isn't the thread for grammar lessons). It's also sung by my favorite Muppet, Gonzo.

I don't know why, but I was suddenly in the mood for this show this weekend. This is probably my favorite song from the show, but if I ever get a chance to perform it, I'll have to bring it up a couple steps. I saw a touring production in Tulsa with Greg Brady himself, Barry Williams, in it.
"There's not a morning that I open up my eyes and find I didn't dream of you.
"Without a warning, though it's never a surprise, soon as I awake, thoughts of you arise ..."

That's vaguely familiar, or perhaps I'm just confusing it with something else...
This time, before I resort to search engines, I'll suggest a hint? or a few more lines?

It's the torch song from a parody-ish show about a classic Hollywood genre.
Another line:
"At any time or place
"I close my eyes and see your face
"And I'm embracing you."

Thanks for the hint; it got me looking in the right direction.
The song is "With Every Breath I Take" from City Of Angels, sung by Bobbi, later reprised by Bobbi and Stone.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

Correct! I really like that show and have been humming its songs ever since I pulled it out that weekend.
You're up!

A hint: this is from another movie-related show.

Wow, even with Google, it took me a little while to find. "A Day in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine"?

That's the show.
Act 1, A Day In Hollywood, is a musical revue-tribute to the "Golden Age" of Hollywood;
Act 2, A Night In The Ukraine, is a Marx Brothers homage.
The quoted song, "Samovar The Lawyer", is the Groucho character's solo in which he introduces himself - not unlike "Hooray For Captain Spaulding".

Sorry it's taken so long to respond.
OK, not that it's any help to any of you, but this is a show my local community theater group is doing next season, and I'm thinking of trying out.
When darkness surrounds you
and you lose your way,
you have your own compass
that turns night to day.
And it's even with you
before you depart.
Be still, hear it beating.
It's leading you ...

I had to Google this one I'm afraid, but in the spirit of keeping the thread alive it's from Urinetown. I've not really heard much about it other than it won the Tony though.
Let's have quite an easy one (that I may well have already used...)
"Then bang! Crash!
And the lightning flash!
And- well, that's another story,
Never mind-
Anyway..."
Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Unless Tamper Lad Screws it up...)

I checked Damn Yankees because "Heart" rhymes with depart, but I never got around to any more research on Suddenly Seymour's quote. Originally posted by Bevis:

I thought I probably had becuase it's one of my favourite song lyrics. I'll leave it open for someone else though...

Into The Woods. Keeping the easy lyrics going, here's one from the show I'm currently in rehearsals for... "A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound..." That should be enough for any afficionado.

And Urinetown rules, guys! I had the great fortune to see it on tour a couple years back. One of the most energized and talented touring casts I have ever seen. It blew me away.

That should be enough for any afficionado. That's "The Money Song" from the *movie* version of Cabaret -- has it been inserted into the stage version now?
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

It's in the version we're doing, which is the Joel Grey revival from 1980. You're up!!!
